Chapter 204 The conspiracy is broken
"Your Majesty..." Gu Shijin raised his head and looked at Lu Junze brightly.
Lu Junze blinked, and Gu Shijin suddenly understood what he meant and kissed him on the lips.
Just as Lu Junze was about to deepen the kiss, Gu Shijin stepped back and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't told me yet?"
"One for one, why doesn't the emperor keep his word?"
Lu Junze raised his eyebrows and said, “Did I promise Jin’er anything?”
Gu Shijin lowered his eyes, turned his head with an unhappy look, and stopped looking at Lu Junze. Lu Junze smiled and pulled him into his arms, "Okay, I'll tell you, it's the top scorer."
Gu Shijin's eyes lit up. Although she knew that with Gu Chengyun's talent, it would not be a problem for him to get the top spot, she was still very excited when she heard Lu Junze say it in person.
This is the top scholar, and he is one of the top three! How rare is this?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shijin kissed Lu Junze on the face excitedly.
Lu Junze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hugged Gu Shijin and said, "Why thank me? It's your brother who was well-educated and passed the exam. I didn't use any backdoor for him."
"Your Majesty, you know clearly that this is not what I meant."
Lu Junze smiled and kissed Gu Shijin on the forehead, "I know, I want to thank you. Your Gu family has trained a good minister for me."
Gu Shijin was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It is a blessing for me, your brother, to serve the emperor."
In fact, Gu Shijin had never wanted her brother Gu Chengyun to enter the court, because their Gu family was doing quite well now, with her father among the civil officials and her elder brother among the military officials.
If Gu Chengyun also entered the court, the Gu family would easily arouse people's jealousy, especially with the talent of her younger brother Gu Chengyun.
The Gu family is also considered an in-law family, so they really shouldn't have too much power in the court.
But Gu Chengyun was willing, he wanted to go this way, Gu Shijin couldn't stop him too much. Life was Gu Chengyun's own, Gu Shijin couldn't make decisions for him, she just hoped that her brother could be worry-free forever.
The two did not talk about this matter for too long. Gu Shijin was deliberately avoiding it. She didn't want to know what happened in the court at all. Lu Junze saw Gu Shijin's avoidance, so he stopped talking about it.
In fact, Lu Junze didn't care about these things when he talked to Gu Shijin. He was not the kind of suspicious emperor, but Gu Shijin was indeed very careful about such things. Lu Junze sometimes couldn't help sighing.
While Lu Junze and Gu Shijin were chatting, Su Deyuan was taking the imperial physician to check the health of the eldest princess and her four other children.
Song Jibai didn't know what to check, but Su Deyuan's words were what the emperor wanted him to do, to check the children's pulses.
Song Jibai couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this. Ping An pulse, do you want to invite him at this time? Can't you see that it's almost dark? But Lu Junze is the emperor, the one who holds the power of life and death over him. What else can Song Jibai do? He can only come with reluctance.
The four children had been playing all day and were so tired that they fell asleep a long time ago, which made it convenient for Song Jibai to take their pulses.
"Doctor Song, how are the health of the princes and princesses?" Su Deyuan hurried forward to ask when he saw Song Jibai coming out after taking their pulses.
Song Jibai was a little speechless. He was really asked to check Ping An's pulse. He said, "The health of the princes and princesses is very good, and the Second Prince's physical weakness has also improved a lot.
Upon hearing this, Su Deyuan nodded to indicate that he understood.
"But..." Song Jibai took a breath and continued, "The children are a little tired from playing today. They are too exhausted."
Su Deyuan: “…”
Please, Doctor Song, could you please speak without breathing heavily? He was scared to death. He thought that there was something wrong with the health of the princes and princesses.
Song Jibai looked at Su Deyuan's expression, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Eunuch Su, why are you so timid? Hahaha."
Su Deyuan wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead. Doctor Song was too erratic. He always felt his heart would jump out of his throat at any time. However, Doctor Song grew up with the emperor, so even Su Deyuan, a big eunuch, couldn't afford to offend him. And he also knew that Doctor Song had no ill intentions.
"Okay, you go back and report to the emperor that there is nothing wrong with these children." Song Jibai waved his hand. He knew that Lu Junze would not call him to check the pulse of these children for no reason.
"Doctor Song." Su Deyuan walked to Song Jibai and whispered, "Is it possible that you didn't check it out and it will relapse in a few days?"
Song Jibai understood Su Deyuan's words in an instant. He said, "Impossible. It was precisely because of this that I used their blood."
Su Deyuan was shocked. The bodies of the prince and princess could not be harmed at will.
"Just go back and report the truth. I'll take care of it for you if anything happens. What are you afraid of?" Song Jibai patted Su Deyuan's shoulder and said.
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Song." Su Deyuan was eager for Song Jibai to leave quickly.
Su Deyuan returned to Chenhua Palace and immediately reported to Lu Junze. Gu Shijin was also there at that time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shijin knew why Lu Junze did this.
"Just in case." Lu Junze shook his head, "There are many people outside your Chenhua Palace every day."
Gu Shijin also smiled helplessly. She could control the situation inside Chenhua Palace, but it was really difficult to control the situation outside. He said he was just passing by, and you couldn't just arrest him.
"Don't worry in the palace, I will take care of these for you." The two of them lay on the bed, and Lu Junze took Gu Shijin into his arms.
Gu Shijin buried his head in Lu Junze's chest, very dependent. The longer he spent with Lu Junze, the more uncomfortable Gu Shijin felt. It would be great if Lu Junze was not the king of a country.
"emperor……"
The mood was right and some ambiguous sounds were heard in the room. It wasn't until very late that the room became completely quiet.
……
"Bang..." The cup fell to the ground, and the broken pieces covered the floor. The palace maid lowered her head in fear, not daring to say a word.
"The Emperor really loves Concubine Jin. He is so careful in his work, fearing that his Concubine Jin will be framed." The woman said angrily.
It was no secret that Su Deyuan invited the imperial physician into the palace. All the concubines in the harem knew about it. After sending people to investigate, they probably knew why the emperor invited the imperial physician into the palace. They all sighed, thinking that the emperor really had good intentions for Concubine Jin.
At the same time, this also broke the conspiracy of many people.
"Everything was clearly arranged!" The woman gritted her teeth, "It was just the last step left, but the emperor did this."
She had already made preparations and could accuse Gu Shijin of poisoning the prince tomorrow, but now that the emperor had made such a fuss, all the conspiracies and intrigues had been shattered.
"Your Majesty, you can use a poison that takes time to take effect." The palace maid silently offered advice.
The woman glanced at the maid and said, "Do you think you are the only one who is smart?"
